there are over 100 types of 'herpes' which is actually the human papolova (sp) virus. The same thing that causes warts and cold sores



and chinken pox

But you can also look at the rational side and say 'well humans do have to be killed off by something'

I wish I could tell you I knew how many other types of cancers are more likly to kill you vs just this one type. I simply don't have that data.

I'm fairly sure there are more types of cancer than there are organs in your body.

My question with this vaccine is. Is it a step in curing overall cancer or just a quick buck marketing cure for one little aspect of a much larger problem. Which is ... cancer.

I'm not saying that this vaccine won't save lifes. I'm just saying look past the small benifit and question the motives of the company creating it. The company that made it, might not be looking to help women and thier ablity to fight cancer. There motive is to make money, thats what a good company does.

I feel there my be two ways to look at this.

You can look at it like this is pollio vaccine and will be a stepping stone to erradicating a threat to humanity. If this is the case. Why does only one company hold the patent?

Or

You can look at this just like 500 other medications on the market that we don't need that are marketed to us 24/7 to cure illness that we don't really need cured.

Well the vaccine is provided by the NHS so the NHS's object is to preserve money and wouldn't be spending out for this vaccine unless they thought it would have a dramatic effect.

I'm aware that there are a lot of other cancers out there and perhaps it's different from a female perspective. But if this vaccine can prevent me getting 70% of cervical cancers then why wouldn't I want to go for it?

Getting cervical cancer can end in a historectomy. If you want to have kids, it can be devastating.

that is another very good point and actually one of the main reasons I wanted the vaccine.

my wife passed away with cervical cancer, she went through Chemo and radiation treatments and sadly it didn't get all of it, she was on pain pills and other liquid pain medication, so
DON'T FOOL AROUND WITH CANCER! it CAN KILL YOU! you know....
btw... she was also on morphine liquid meds as well as pain patches...

I just went and looked on the NHS website about this and I can't have the vaccine because I'm 18.

They're offering it to girls that are a year younger than me



I don't know how the pharmaeutical system works in the UK. In Australia this vaccine is reimbursed (free) for girls between 18-26 I think. You do have the option to pay full price for it - in Australia if you fall outside these ages, it would cost about $350 for the initial vaccine and then the 2 subsequent booster vaccines.
